More than 40 million Americans have struggled with substance abuse within the last year. Sadly, many continue to struggle and never seek treatment for alcohol addiction or drug addiction. If you are among those battling such a disorder, there is hope for recovery with the help of a committed alcohol and drug counselor or therapist. The team at Francine Farrell & Associates of Sacramento, CA, offers both in-person and online therapy to help you on your path to freedom.
Substance Abuse Addiction and Recovery
Alcohol addiction and drug addiction can be difficult to cope with for a variety of reasons. One of these reasons is that addiction is a symptom of an underlying issue.
Breaking free from the physical addiction is only one part of the solution. Another component of success is addressing what led to the addiction in the first place.
Typically, addictions have various contributing factors, including the brain’s response to the chemical. However, for many people, growing up around addiction, trauma from the past, and self-worth issues play a role.
As there are physical, psychological, and emotional layers involved in addiction, it’s important to work with an alcohol and drug counselor to help you overcome it and prevent a relapse. Though the techniques a therapist uses depend on the individual’s needs, the team at Francine Farrell & Associates of Sacramento, CA, shares some common techniques below.
CBT
Cognitive behavioral therapy can be highly effective in helping clients become aware of their choices, actions, thoughts, and beliefs. By becoming aware, they can then make the conscious effort to make the necessary adjustments.
Family Counseling
Addiction doesn’t just impact you. It can affect your loved ones as well. Family counseling can help you all heal and move forward together.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy
Motivational enhancement or motivational interviewing is a method used to help people find or develop the motivation they need to overcome addiction or achieve any other goal. It helps create something to focus on, which can help prevent old patterns from taking over.
If you or a loved one suffer from alcohol addiction or drug addiction, don’t give up hope. With the help of a therapist, you can find freedom and achieve recovery from substance abuse.
